Admit confession in tragic Worcester murder trial
In Worcester Massachusetts Judge Thomas J Hammond ruled a signed confession by Newell P Sherman admissible as voluntary evidence in the murder trial of his wife Alice. Sherman testified to deny the confession while state detective Lt Edward J McCarthy and other officers supported its voluntary nature. The confession described overturning a canoe and pushing his wife away as she clung to him, a report Sherman claimed was coerced by questioning and fear of a truth serum. He maintained the canoe accident scenario and said he and his wife might drown if they stayed together. The trial, with Sherman facing the death penalty if convicted, includes testimony from officers about promises or threats, and from the victim’s parents seated in the courtroom.
